Just wondered if anyone could offer a view on this.
So my son has been diagnosed with Crohns and we have recently started biologicsto go with azathioprine as aza on its own didn’t work.
The great news is tummy aches stopped and his calprotein result went from 1800 to 125.
We had a recent calprotein test, hoping it would now be below the 80 mark, but it’s risen to 147.
My question is, does this figure need to get below the 80, or do Crohns patients often have continual figures above the 80?
We are obviously delighted it has gone in the right direction initially, but wondered if the docs have to maybe increase does to get below the 80 or just accept an inflated figure that wasn’t anywhere near as bad as it was before?
